REQUEST FOR VARIANCES PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 205 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE, TO REDUCE THE REAR YARD SETBACK FROM THE REQUIRED 25 FEET TO 10 FEET, TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 16 FT. BY 26 FT. ADDITION TO THE REAR OF AN EXISTING STRUCTURE, ALONG WITH A DECK, AND TO REDUCE THE SIDE YARD SETBACK FOR A GARAGE WHICH OPENS ON THE SIDE STREET, FROM THE REQUIRED 25 FEET TO 17.5 FEET, WHICIi IS ALREADY EXISTING, ALL LOCATED ON LOT 8, BLOCK 4, MEMORY MANOR 3RD ADDITION, THE SAME BEING 7381 MEMORY LANE N.E. (Request by Thomas J. Bloss, 7381 Memory Lane N.E., Fridley, MN 55432). MOTION by Mrs. Gerou, seconded by Mr. Barna, to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRWOMAN GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:35 P.M. Mr. Thomas Bloss, 7381 Memory Lane N.E., was present. Chairwoman Gabel read the Staff Report: ADMINISTRATIVE STArF REPORT 7301 Memory Lane N.E. A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SEI;VI.D BY P.EOUIRTZIPVT: Section 205.053, 4C, requires a rear yard depth of not less than 25 percent of the lot depth, with not less than 25 feet permitted or more than 40 feet required. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide rear yard space to be used for green areas which enhance the neighborhood. Section 205.053, 4B, #5b, requires an accessory building that open on the street side of a corner lot to be setback a minimum of 25 feet from the property line. Appeals Commission Meeting - June 9, 1981 Page 2 } Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a higher degree of traffic visibility and to reduce the "line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard. S. STATED HARDSHIP: "We need additional living space and can not add on without a variance. Addition will be 16 feet by 26 feet, upper and lower levels. Also, the existing house was bhilt with the garage too close to the side street so I am applying for a variance for that part of the structure." C. ADMINISTRATIVE STPFF REVIEW �This lot is on the southwest corner of Memory Lane and Memory Lane cul-de-sac. The lot is a trapezium (having 4 sides with no two sides parallel) and with the existing house placement, it is almost impossible to add onto the structure without some type of variance. The rear yard setback is now only 26 feet and with the addition will be reduced to 10 feet at the closest point. The adjacent structure to the rear is approximately 40 feet from this structure. The existing garage exits onto Memory Lane cul-de-sac and is approximately 17 feet from the property line. The boulevard width is 10.5 feet making the garage 27.5 feet from the curb. This is a housekeeping variance as the garage is existing. Mr. Clark showed the Commission a picture and an aerial view of the area with the addition drawn on it. He explained that when the house was built, the re- quirements were 17.5 feet from the property line and were changed to 25 feet about 10 years ago and, if something happened such as the garage burning down, Mr. Bloss would have to come and get a variance to build a new one and that is why he is getting a variance now, in case something like that should happen. -Mr. Bloss said he wants to add two levels, the upper level including living. room and office -den space and the lower level would be an extension of family living area. Chairwoman Gabel asked what he would use his office space for and he said he is a doctor and the office space would be for his personal business. He said he has talked to a contractor and showed the Commission some drawings the contractor had done. Chairwoman Gabel asked about the roof lines and Mr. Bloss said they would be tied in. Chairwoman Gabel explained that if the variance is granted, the work would have to be done in a year otherwise he would have to come back and apply for an extension. Mr. Bloss said he would probably get started this summer. Mr. Barna asked Mr. Clark what the distance would be from the house on Lot 9. Mr. Clark said from the existing house to the existing garage it is about 40 feet and even with the addition it would still be 24 feet. MOTION by Mr. Hippen, seconded by Mrs. Gerou, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRWOMAN GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:45 P.M. Q Appeals Commission Meetin - June 9, 1981 Page 3 MOTION by Mr. Hippen, seconded by Mr. Barna, to approve the variance request to reduce the rear yard setback from the required 25 feet to 10 feet, to allow the construction of a 16 ft. by 26 ft. addition to the rear of an existing structure, along with a deck, and to reduce the side yard setback for a garage which opens on the side street, from the required 25 feet to 17.5 feet, which is already existing, all located on Lot 8, Block 4, Memory Manor 3rd Addition, the same being 7381 Memory Lane N.E., Fridley, MN 55432.

(Request by Bruce Nedegaard, 111 -45th Avenue N.E., Fridley, MN 55421). MOTION by Mrs. Gerou, seconded by Mr. Barna, to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRWOMAN GABEL DECLARED THE -PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:48 P.M. Mrs. Claudia Nedegaard, 111 -45th Avenue N.E., was present. Chairwoman Gabel read the Staff Report: NbMINISTPATIVE STAFF ld.PORT 111 - 45th Avenue N.E. A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIRI.MENT: Section 205.053, 4A, requires a front yard setback of not less than 35 feet. Public purpose served by this requirement is to allow for off-street parking without encroaching on the public right of way and also for aesthetic consideration to reduce the "building line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard. Section 205.154, 3, paragraph 2, requires.a fence or wall to be not more than 4 feet high within the limits of the front yard. Public purpose served by this requirement is to reduce visual pollution in the front yard, and to maintain a higher degree of traffic visibility and to reduce the "line of sight" encroachment into the neighbbr's front yard. B. STATED HARDSHIP: "Due to the fact that our house is sitting on the lot facing the side yard and not the front of the lot, it has created a -narrow -rear yard and necessitates a variance so the pool can be installed properly." Appeals Commission Meeting - June 9, 1981 Page 4 C, ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIDI: A variance was approved on June 12, 1979 for a.house addition to be constructed 25 feet from the front property line (2nd Street). The applicant now proposes to install a swimming pool in line with this addition, and between the dwelling unit and the inside -side lot line, making it also 25 feet from the front property line. All swimming pools in the City are required to have a minimum of a 6 foot fence surrounding theca to prevent entrance to the pool by children. If the front yard setback is approved for the pool, the fence requirement must also be approved for safety -purposes. Mr. Clark stated that the house directly to the south.also got a 10 foot variance so the two houses would now be in line. He asked Mrs. Nedegaard if they, would be locating the fence posts closer to the street and she said they would be 6 feet past the house. Mr. Clark noted that the existing house is 25 feet from the lot line and the house next door is 25 feet from the lot and the new fence will be 19 feet from the lot line. Chairwoman Gabel asked Mrs. Nedegaard if it will be the same type of fence and how deep the pool is to be. Mrs. Nedegaard said it will be the.same type of fence and the pool will be only four feet deep all the way across. Chairwoman Gabel asked Mr. Clark how far the structure is to the street. Mr. Clark said the swimming pool will be at the house line and it will be 37 feet. Chairwoman Gabel noted that it would not interfere with the line of sight and Mr. Barna noted that it would be no where near the corner of the lot. Chairwoman Gabel also noted that there would be no problem with making the fence 6 feet and reasonably childproof. MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mr. Hippen, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHARIWOMAN GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:57 P.M. MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mrs. Gerou, to approve the variance request to reduce the front yard setback from the required 35 feet to -25 feet, to allow a 14 ft. by 23 ft. oval swimming pool to be in line with the front of the house, and to allow the placement of a 6 ft. fence to a 19 feet from the front property line instead of the 4 ft. maximum height allowed in the front yard, so they can meet fencing requirements for a swimming pool, Ll located on Lot 2, Block 30, Rearrangement of Blocks 13, 14, & 15, Plymouthddition, the same being 111 -45th Avenue N.E., Fridley, MN 55432.
